Pros

Local news coverage is important so I'm glad there is some focus on small communities.

Cons

Management puts advertisers above content and the separation of church and state is minimal at best.

Too Much Stress for Too Little Money

Pros

Working with customers is the best part of being an sales associate. Coworkers were great people. Otherwise, there are no pros.

Cons

Low wage for way too much work! I was mislead in the interview of how much compensation would be. Sales goal constantly moved out of range so you never make full commision. Company had lost thousands in revenue before I started. It is all put on the sales team to fix it with unrealistic sales goals (like raising 20K in a month). Feedback is not welcomed in anyway by management. Crazy turnover. Oldest employee in sales had only been there for 7 months when I started. This is not a new company! After I started 3 people had already quit. Very stressful place to work.
